21 Things All Single Women Are Sick to Death of Hearing ...

What's the big deal about being single? What is it about being unattached that makes people think they can get all up in your business? It's not like being single is the worst thing in the world. More and more women are actively choosing to remain single these days. Even if it's not a choice, it's not a big deal – and it's certainly not an invitation for people to start telling you about your life. My single friends are very upfront about the things they're sick to death of hearing. They wanted me to share those things with you. Do they sound familiar?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

1

“Are You Seeing Someone?”

“Are You Seeing Someone?” Always. Every time. It's the first question everyone asks. Seeing anyone yet? Met anybody new? NO.

2

“Oh, I Know the Perfect Person for You!”

“Oh, I Know the Perfect Person for You!” The people who say this to you? They do not know the perfect person for you. They know someone who happens to be single at the same time. You probably have nothing in common except for the fact that you both breathe and you're both single.

3

“How Come No One's Scooped You up Yet?”

“How Come No One's Scooped You up Yet?” Because you are not a frigging ice cream cone, that's why.

4

“You're Too _ to Be Single!”

“You're Too _ to Be Single!” Pretty. Smart. Funny. Kind. Whatever. This doesn't even make any sense. Too pretty to be single? For really real?

5

“Maybe You Should Lower Your Standards.”

“Maybe You Should Lower Your Standards.” Maybe you should shut your face, friend.

Famous Quotes

To give oneself earnestly to the duties due to men, and, while respecting spiritual beings, to keep aloof from them, may be called wisdom.

Confucius
6

“It's Okay … You're Still Young.”

“It's Okay … You're Still Young.” What? Like your single status is a terminal diagnosis? Like you have an expiration date stamped on your thigh?

7

“Isn't Your Biological Clock Ticking?”

“Isn't Your Biological Clock Ticking?” Anyone who ever says this to you needs to take several seats. All the seats.

8

“There Are Plenty of Fish in the Sea.”

marine biology, underwater, reef, ocean, coral, Yes. There are plenty of fish in the sea, plenty of bears in the woods, and probably plenty of pains in your ass every time anyone feeds you this sad, sorry, pointless platitude.

9

“You Shouldn't Be so Picky.”

“You Shouldn't Be so Picky.” No, you should absolutely settle so you can end up in a boring, mediocre marriage, right?

10

“Your Soul Mate is out There Waiting for You.”

“Your Soul Mate is out There Waiting for You.” This makes it sound like there's a waiting room out there somewhere, filled with single people, waiting to be found.

11

“I Miss Being Single and Living It up. You're so Lucky!”

“I Miss Being Single and Living It up. You're so Lucky!” As if you spend every single night at clubs and bars and house parties, as if your life is actually “Sex and the City.” No doubt you're fabulous no matter what your relationship status, but c'mon, being single isn't automatically synonymous with being glamorous.

12

“You Just Haven't Found Mrs./Mr. Right Yet.”

“You Just Haven't Found Mrs./Mr. Right Yet.” Next time, you should just say, “Yeah, I have. S/he's in a trunk in my bedroom.”

13

“Have You Thought about Online Dating?”

“Have You Thought about Online Dating?” Have you thought about a frontal lobotomy?

14

“My Best Friend's Sister Met Someone on Tinder!”

“My Best Friend's Sister Met Someone on Tinder!” Run. Run now. Don't look back. Throw your phone in the ocean.

15

“Maybe You're Really Putting Yourself out There.”

“Maybe You're Really Putting Yourself out There.” Maybe the people who say this are right. Maybe you should start wearing a sandwich board when you go out so everyone knows you're single.

16

“Are You Afraid of Dying Alone?”

“Are You Afraid of Dying Alone?” If it means avoiding the people who say these heinous things for the rest of your life, maybe dying alone isn't such a bad thing.

17

“I Bet You're Having Lots of Sex.”

“I Bet You're Having Lots of Sex.” Just … just go sit somewhere.

18

“Single Life is so Much More Exciting than Married Life!”

“Single Life is so Much More Exciting than Married Life!” This is usually a case of the grass always being greener. Typically, the person saying this is under the mistaken impression that single life really is just like a Beyonce song.

19

“You'll Find Someone Once You Stop Looking!”

“You'll Find Someone Once You Stop Looking!” People. A potential mate is not the same thing as a lost set of car keys.

20

“Aren't You Lonely?”

“Aren't You Lonely?” Like you don't have friends, family members, buddies, neighbors, acquaintances …

21

“Hope You Don't End up Being a Crazy Cat Lady!”

“Hope You Don't End up Being a Crazy Cat Lady!” EFF YOU, OKAY.

Single, married, in a relationship – it doesn't matter. Only you can live your own happiness. 'fess up, though, single stalkers. What do you get tired of hearing?

Hahaha very true :D

Omg this post has everything at 1000% and the truth with the sass has been such a breath of fresh air. THANK YOU!!!

I agree with you

Yes, I'm so sick of people hating on is single ladies. One married lady told me, I was missing out on life because I wasn't married. She also said, I had no idea about the real world because I didn't have a husband and apparently 25 is too old for any man to want me.

Tired of hearing "oh you are still not dating? Are you a lesbian?"

Omiiiiigoooshhh yaaaah feel you so annoying stoppp already.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great post! I have three beautiful children - one of whom is in a steady relationship. The other two are fun, intelligent, hardworking, and sensible. Neither needs another human being to make them any more wonderful. Single shaming needs to stop.
